A layered perovskite type oxide, K2La2Ti3O10, was prepared by a gel technique using the polymerized complex (PC) method. A single phase K3La2Ti3O10 was Obtained by adding twice the potassium required for stoichiometry. The Ni-K2La2Ti3O10 catalyst prepared by the PC method exhibited a higher photocatalytic activity for decomposition of H2O into H-2 and O-2 than that prepared by a conventional solid state reaction.

A polymerized complex (PC) technique was applied to the preparation of a highly active photocatalyst, K2La2Ti3O10, with a layered perovskite type structure to decompose H2O into H-2 and O-2. The catalyst prepared by the PC technique had a higher photocatalytic activity than that prepared by conventional solid-state reaction method.

The photocatalytic activities of water splitting by small particles (0.1-2 mu m) of K4Nb6O17 were studied. The milled catalysts were prepared by two kinds of ball-milling methods from the powder whose particles were several tens of micrometers in diameter. The surface area of the milled catalyst measured by N-2 adsorption at 77 K increased by an order of magnitude. The crystal structure was almost retained as K4Nb6O17, as evidenced by the results of X-ray diffraction and scanning electron micrography. The photocatalytic activity for an overall decomposition of water of the Ni-loaded K4Nb6O17 was twice as high as that for the original catalyst. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.

Several ion-exchangeable layered niobates were applied to prepare modified layered photocatalysts. K1-xLaxCa2-xNb3O10 (x = 0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75), a layered perovskite series, with variable interlayer cation density, were used for the modification of the interlayer space by pillaring of silica and titania. The silica-pillaring process was monitored by NMR and the thermal stability was also examined. Silica-pillar was successfully introduced to all the series of perovskites which showed good photocatalytic activity. The preparation of titania-pillared layered niobates was more difficult. In the case of KCa2Nb3O10 (x = 0), we could not introduce a titania pillar, but in the case of K0.5La0.5Ca1.5Nb3O10 (x = 0.5) carrying less interlayer cation density, titania-pillar was introduced although the thermal stability was very poor. K4Nb6O17, another type of layered niobate, was used for the exfoliation and restacking of the niobate sheets. The structure and photocatalytic activity of the product was examined.
